Brilio.net - For some people, eating without chili sauce doesn't taste delicious. Indeed, this Indonesian dish not only provides a spicy taste, but also enriches the aroma and deliciousness of each dish . As a complement that is almost always present at the dinner table, chili sauce is a favorite of many people because it can be made from various ingredients.
Not only that, chili sauce also has many variations. From shrimp paste chili sauce, plow chili sauce, to matah chili sauce. Basically, each type of chili sauce has unique characteristics and flavors that make it special. To make chili sauce, most people still use manual tools such as a mortar or pestle.
Making chili sauce using a mortar and pestle is considered better than using a blender, because the mortar produces a rougher and more natural texture. This allows the mixture of ingredients such as chilies, onions and shrimp paste to be mixed evenly but still retains the small pieces that provide a different sensation when eaten.
Even so, grinding chili sauce , especially in large portions, is certainly very tiring. As a result, many people are looking for ways to make the process easier, for example by adding salt. The abrasive properties of salt are thought to help the chili sauce become smoother when mashed.
But apart from adding salt, you can use other tricks that are no less effective, you know. Like the trick shared by Instagram user @safaralles through one of the videos he uploaded. He admitted that there were several tricks that could make the process of grinding the chili sauce easier.
Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @safaralles on Friday (2/8), the first thing to do is prepare a cloth or kitchen towel. So, this cloth will be used as a base for the mortar that will be used to grind the chili sauce. If you have this base, the mortar will not shift easily, so the kneading process can be faster and smoother.

Next, try to spread the chili sauce on the floor or floor. This will make the hand position higher than other parts of the body, so that the pressure will also be maximized. Not only that, mixing chili sauce while lying down also makes your hands less sore.

The final trick, point your index finger forward on the handle of the pestle. With your index finger pointing forward, the kneading movement becomes more efficient. This position allows the wrists and arms to work in sync, creating a smoother, more controlled movement.
The efficiency of this movement then helps the kneading process to be faster and more effective, so that the chili ingredients can be crushed and mixed well in a shorter time.
